Miriam Metzger teaches at UC Santa Barbara in the Communication Department.
Professor Metzger’s research interests lie at the intersection of media, information technology, and trust, centering on how information technology alters our understandings of credibility, privacy, and the processes of media effects. Her work examines questions about how information technology challenges traditional notions of trust, with a specific focus on the credibility of information online and on how users of digital media negotiate privacy and disclosure decisions. She has also published work examining the impact of mass media on public opinion, and on the theoretical and regulatory changes brought about by emerging information and communication technologies.
